NeilBrown d63a5a74de [PATCH] lockdep: avoid lockdep warning in md 
md_open takes ->reconfig_mutex which causes lockdep to complain.  This
(normally) doesn't have deadlock potential as the possible conflict is with a
reconfig_mutex in a different device.

I say "normally" because if a loop were created in the array->member hierarchy
a deadlock could happen.  However that causes bigger problems than a deadlock
and should be fixed independently.

So we flag the lock in md_open as a nested lock.  This requires defining
mutex_lock_interruptible_nested.
